You’ll play a key role in setting technical direction, shaping architecture, contributing across the technology stack, and developing a high-performing engineering team. Product thinking is central to the role. You’ll work closely with Product and business stakeholders to understand customer problems, turn ambiguous requirements into clear technical solutions, and ensure engineering decisions are aligned with meaningful business outcomes. You’ll be expected to challenge assumptions, validate ideas, and help shape what gets built — not simply deliver against a predefined specification. The role also requires practical experience with AI and LLM technologies , including integrating AI capabilities into production systems, evaluating and improving model behaviour, and building reliable, scalable inference pipelines. What You’ll Do Product Thinking & Communication Partner with Product and stakeholders to understand customer workflows, requirements, and problem spaces. Translate ambiguous business requirements into clear technical plans, system designs, and actionable solutions. Validate solutions through real-world usage, feedback, and continuous iteration. Communicate progress, risks, technical decisions, and trade-offs effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences. Ensure engineering initiatives remain focused on customer value and measurable business outcomes. Technical Leadership & Engineering Design, build, and evolve scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems. Contribute directly to core products across the full technology stack, including frontend, backend, and infrastructure. Own key technical decisions and influence overall architectural direction. Establish and promote engineering best practices across CI/CD, testing, observability, and release management. Take ownership of projects end-to-end, from initial design through to production delivery. Balance short-term delivery with long-term scalability, maintainability, and technical quality. AI & Intelligent Systems Design and integrate AI-powered capabilities into production applications. Work with LLMs to solve practical business and customer problems. Evaluate model outputs and continuously improve reliability, accuracy, and performance. Design and optimise inference pipelines with consideration for latency, cost, scalability, and reliability. Apply techniques including prompt engineering, tool use, model evaluation, and AI workflow design to deliver real-world outcomes. People Leadership Lead, coach, and develop engineers through regular feedback, mentorship, and career support. Remove blockers and create an environment where engineers can take ownership and perform at their best. Lead by example through hands-on technical contribution and strong engineering standards. Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, continuous improvement, and technical excellence. Requirements 7+ years of professional software engineering experience with significant production ownership. Proven experience as a Tech Lead, Lead Engineer, or Senior Engineer driving both technical delivery and team development. Strong product mindset and the ability to connect technical decisions to customer and business value. Full-stack engineering capability, with strong expertise in Python and backend systems . Practical experience building or integrating AI/LLM-powered systems in production , or the ability to ramp up quickly in this area. Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively across technical and non-technical teams. Experience coaching, mentoring, and developing engineers. Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where priorities can evolve quickly. Nice to Have Experience with architectural patterns such as Domain-Driven Design (DDD), CQRS, or event-driven architecture . Experience working with data-intensive or enterprise-scale systems. Familiarity with systems-level languages such as Go or Rust . Experience with modern frontend frameworks such as React . Soft Skills & Mindset Builder mentality: Leads through hands-on execution as well as technical leadership. Strong communicator: Uses clear communication to create alignment and remove ambiguity. Ownership: Takes responsibility from problem definition through to successful production delivery. Product focused: Understands the commercial and customer impact behind technical decisions. Comfortable with ambiguity: Brings structure and clarity to complex or undefined problems. People focused: Invests in mentorship, coaching, and the development of others. Pragmatic: Balances speed and delivery with quality, scalability, and long-term technical thinking.
